Suta said - O Brahmana, thus I have described all the popular pilgrim places existed on this earth but manasa-tirtha the particular ones that provide with extraordinary fruits. It is true that the mind free from attachment and envy is the best pilgrim place.

mano nirmalata tirtham ragadibhiranakula
satyam tirtham daya tirtham tirtham mindriyagrahah
gurususrusanam tirtham matrisusrusanam tirtha
svadharmacaranam tirtham tirthamagnerupasanam

The observance of truth, mercy, control over the senses, obedience to guru, service to parents, obeservance of ones own religion and worship of fire are the best pilgrim places.

"Your such wandering assures good fortune to the world,
and today that great good fortuitous occassion is mine
